My very healthy 13-yr old bitch was never spayed and now has a small egg
size growth in one of her breasts, and a jelly bean size in another. The
large one is not noticeably growing, but the vet and I are afraid of it
rupturing one day. Therefore we both agree that it should be removed. We
x-rayed her chest to see if she had anything in her lungs. They're clear!!
My
question to this body of knowledge is, should I spay her at the same time
she has the lumpectomy (sp)? Remember, she's 13-yrs old, but doing great.
Sincerely,
Had a lump removed from an older bitch and my Canadian vet did it with a
local. She did not want to put my girl under at 12 1/2...too many things go
wrong. Frankly, I would only do anything for her that is not life
threatening. A spay at her age may be just too much for her to handle.
